The Full Gym | Chapter 15

Never wonder where a sales conversation should go next.

All 8 stages are on this page, in order, from the welcome to the follow-up. Read it once, then run it on your next walk-in.

  1. Every stage · The Welcome (0-60 sec) SET THE TONE · BUILD TRUST FAST · SB7: CHARACTER 01

    Greet by name. Offer water. Drop the clipboard. Ask: "What made today the day you walked in?" Listen for the answer. Don't pitch.

  2. Every stage · Discovery (3-5 min) THE 3-LAYER PROBLEM DIAGNOSTIC · SB7: PROBLEM 02

    Ask about the external problem (what they want), the internal problem (how it makes them feel), and the philosophical problem (why it matters in their life). Use their words. Repeat back.

  3. Every stage · The Tour (5-7 min) SHOW DON'T TELL · SB7: GUIDE 03

    Walk them through the space. Reference their "why" at every stop. Introduce them to 2 members by name. Point out the part of the gym that fits their specific goal.

  4. Every stage · The Trial (5 min) EXPERIENCE BEFORE PITCH · SB7: PLAN 04

    Let them feel a class, try a machine, or sit in on a session. Don't talk pricing yet. The trial sells the membership. The pitch just signs the paperwork.

  5. Every stage · The Close (2-3 min) RESTATE, OFFER TWO, ASK · SB7: CTA + SUCCESS 05

    Restate their "why" in their words. Offer two membership options (not five). Ask directly: "Which one feels right?" Then shut up.

  6. Every stage · Objection Handling IF “I'LL THINK ABOUT IT” · SB7: FAILURE → PLAN 06

    Don't argue. Ask: "What specifically are you thinking about?" Address the real concern. Offer a specific next step: "Let's get you on the calendar for Wednesday to try a class."

  7. Every stage · Capture & Confirm EVEN ON A “NO” 07

  8. Every stage · The 14-Day Follow-Up SEE: 14-DAY FOLLOW-UP SEQUENCE 08

    Day 1, 3, 7, 14. Mix of SMS and email. Specific, helpful, not desperate. 30-40% of "no" leads close within 14 days if the follow-up is real.
